YouTube Videos from Upstate Cowboy Action Matches

Crunchy Frog · Dec 14, 2014

A couple of videos from yesterday's Belton December match. The lines had a "holiday" feel:

The first shooter is Cowboy Junky, the Greenville club's match director. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xSn3bi ... e=youtu.be

I also took a video of one of our newest Upstate shooters. Kind of an interesting pattern on this stage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBZMTY68UWQ

Two videos from today's January match; the first of a shooter in the "Frontiersman" category using cap and ball sixguns: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IK74rQcyVfI

The second video is one of our "gunfighter" category shooters; this was a "split pistol" stage that puts Gunfighters at a slight disadvantage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76yReCImfns

OK, not an Upstate match but here are two videos from the Wild Bunch Action Shooting match hosted by the Palmetto Posse in Columbia today.

The first is Shamrock Sadie shooting the "Three Clay Challenge"; there are three steel popper targets that launch a clay into the air when the steel target falls. My camera work was not good but I believe Sadie hit one of them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wY-EEQO ... e=youtu.be

Next is "Dutch" shooting Stage 4. There were only five rifle targets on this stage but a good number of pistol targets (20) and shotgun targets (6). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZ449Vs ... e=youtu.be

Thanks Crunchy. Looks like fun.

Two videos from the Belton match; one of yours truly and the second is one of our lady shooters. It was a nice change of pace not to be cold, wet, or both.

Nice pair of videos there, Crunchy Frog! Always nice to see these from your shooting matches.

Dave29461 · Apr 12, 2015

Thanks Crunchy Frog. I enjoy these everytime you post 'me.

Crunchy Frog · Apr 12, 2015

Glad you enjoy them. I am not able to spend a lot of time taking photos and videos because all participants are expected to take turns performing "posse chores" such as spotting, picking up brass, and manning the loading and unloading tables. This is especially true at my home club where I often serve as a posse marshal or take turns running the timer.

I will try to get some videos of different shooting styles also. The black powder shooters are lots of fun to watch.

These are videos from the 2015 SC State Match which is being held in Columbia so these are not from an Upstate match, but hey, there are several folks from the Upstate at the match so my conscience is clear.

Here is a video taken by a friend and posted to YouTube; it shows our Greenville match director coaching a first time shooter during the recent State Match. Probably after the competitors had finished. The shooter is a friend of one of our new-ish shooters.

This video demonstrates one of the interesting aspects of cowboy action shooting; often the top shooters are the first to step up and help the new guy or gal. The shooter did pretty well for a first timer, too.

Really stretching the "title" of the thread with this one, a video of Kid Ray, one of SC's top shooters, at last weekend's Georgia State Match:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AOAUVmXohM

He's the match director of one of the Columbia clubs but he's a regular participant (and WORKER, we love those) at the Greenville matches. Close enough!

Midnight Raver · May 20, 2015

Darn good shooting! Thanks as always for these vids and updates, your pals are certainly welcome too.

Dave29461 · May 20, 2015

That is some fine shooting.

Here is a video from today's Belton match. A new friend I met on Facebook came to the match and was ready to give it a try so I outfitted him with leather, guns and ammo and he shot the entire match.

Two videos from today's Greenville match; the first is a friend's wife shooting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEGI3pKChCA

Another friend took this video of me shooting the same stage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWNfOoCq5hs

Added another video that one of our "cowgirls" took on Sunday and posted to YouTube; she puts glitter into her shotshells for a little extra panache. She gave some shells to one of our cowboy shooters just for fun.
